Over the past 18 years of trading the markets I have always had an admin white board next to my main desktop computer. This has kept me disciplined and methodical in my trading approach. I am very regimented and disciplined and I try as hard possible to limit the amount of errors in my trading. Below is a list of some of the elements that i have on my white board to prepare my self before, during and after trading the markets;
1. Economic Calendar events for the trading day (time, Asset and Importance of the news event) 2. Notes for the day ( What to improve on, how am i feeling,Goals for the day/week/mont, Mission statement, Date.....) 3. Monthly drawdown SOP 4. Risk per trade 5. Risk per capital 6. Individual checklist 7. Orders ( currently in or maybe coming up in the near future) 8. Watch-list ( any assets that may have a potential - Inline with my strategy) 9. and lots more....
I have an extensive amount of information on this board. Listed above is just a quick taste of what it in-tales. Please let me know if you any questions
